A member asked:
Covid19 long term effects: some reports suggesting many people will have lasting effects from this virus, in a variety of different ways. is this out of the ordinary for a respiratory virus? are these limited to severe cases? your personal take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, not typical: The nasty things we are seeing related to Covid19 are not typical forcrespiratory viruses - that's part of the reason this virus/pandemic is being so devastating. We are seeing long term, ? permanent things such as loss of taste and smell, severe lasting fatigue. In kids we're seeing an altogether new illness related to immune hyper responsiveness to the virus. God only knows what others follow..
